Judging by the amount of water this is constantly collecting, this dehumidifier works great. Quiet, efficient, and you can feel the difference after it runs.
We got our original Waykar 4 years ago and loved it. It recently had a humidity sensor go out and we opted to upgrade. Went from 33 pints (2000 square ft) to this one which is rated at 80 pints/day (5000 square ft). Amazingly the unit is basically the same size. Very quiet machine and does a great job of removing humidity. There are tons of complaints online about other brands breaking or not working well. Waykar seems to run below the radar. They don't show up in a lot of the "best" lists, but don't be fooled. They're a great brand and just quietly outperform the others without a lot of fanfare. Just quality machines and exceptional customer support. Do yourself a favor and consider them even if they're not on the "influencers'" lists. You'll be happily surprised.
So I bought this dehumidifier to keep two small rooms in my basement dry. It does the job nicely. I have had many dehumidifiers and this is probably the quietest one I've owned. A nice bonus. I also like the front panel humidity display. It doesn't pull the water as fast as some of the bigger units, so I'm not sure it will be effective for the claimed 4500 sq ft. I also used the constant drain hose that was easy to install.
The bad is that it stopped working after exactly one year. It electronically turned on, but the compressor did not kick in. I contacted the company via e-mail and they were pretty easy to deal with and I'll get a replacement. So no complaint there.
Been using it for two weeks and works well, I dont have it on all day, it can fill up the little tank twice in one day,.
I purchased this dehumidifier for my house which had been heavily damaged by water and smelled like mold. This unit did a great job reducing the humidity and efficiently removing moisture in the air. The unit arrived promptly and was easy to set up and it works flawlessly. I like the sleek design of the machine, it is light weight, has wheels and its easy to maneuver. I would recommend this machine for its performance and great customer service.
